Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst will host 60 Year 9 students from Blayney Public School, Portland Central School, and Denison College for a 'Future Directions Day' on Friday 19 July. The day is part of CSU’s Future Moves Program, which works at building aspiration for higher education amongst school students in regional NSW and Victoria. Ms Tonya Graham, Future Moves coordinator said, “The Future Directions Day will be the first of its kind to target Year 9 students. By introducing young people to a university campus and enabling them to interact with university students and staff we’re hoping to encourage them to consider tertiary education as a realistic and accessible option. We want to trigger conversations about post-school options early so that students see university as a realistic pathway and feel confident with the career choices they make.” Students will participate in interactive workshops from 10am-2.30pm assisted by CSU staff in various areas, including robotics, paramedics and political science. Students will also tour the campus and have lunch in the University dining hall like university students. Read more about Future Moves here.
